Macnica launches DeviceTotal, a vulnerability management platform for OT/IoT/network devices - Easily visualize security risks in your organization and support risk management by simply registering device information -

Macnica (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture; President: Kazumasa Hara; hereinafter referred to as Macnica) announced today that it has signed a distributor agreement with Arcsaber Ltd. (Headquarters: Tel Aviv, Israel; Founder & CEO: Dr. Carmit Yadin) and will begin offering the company's DeviceTotal vulnerability management platform for OT/IoT/network devices. The platform makes it easy to visualize potential security risks, such as vulnerabilities, in OT*/IoT/network devices, which are becoming increasingly popular, and supports security risk management for the entire organization.

■ Background
OT/IoT/network devices in companies, such as OT/IoT devices for remote maintenance of public infrastructure and utilization of data in factories due to the promotion of DX in the manufacturing industry, and network devices such as SSL-VPN due to the spread of remote work. are being increasingly introduced.
Recently, the damage caused by cyberattacks such as ransomware caused by the vulnerabilities of these devices is increasing. The cause is that vulnerabilities that need to be addressed such as applying patches are left unaddressed, but while the number of devices to be managed increases, organizations that cannot secure sufficient security personnel are faced with a huge number of devices and vulnerabilities. It is not easy to continuously manage one by one. If the bases to be managed are not only domestic but also overseas, the management becomes more difficult.

■Overview of DeviceTotal
DeviceTotal visualizes risks such as vulnerabilities by simply registering three types of information known to the user: "vendor name, hardware type, and firmware version" of OT/IoT/network devices using an API or CSV file. It is a platform that can By scoring risks not only by device but also by location and organization, it is possible to easily visualize potential risks in an organization and realize continuous security risk management for the entire organization. This makes it possible to identify the devices and bases that should be prioritized for patch application and other measures, enabling efficient device security measures with a small number of man-hours.

<Features of DeviceTotal>

・No need to change network configuration or install agents
・Risk scores are displayed in three levels: each device, location, and organization, enabling comparison of relative security risks within the organization and consideration of countermeasures.
・Risk scoring is possible even if the firmware version is unknown (calculated in the worst case)
・When applying a patch to fix vulnerabilities, we recommend using a version other than the latest version that can be fixed.
